    Log Message:
    Complete the BOOL->bool conversion

    This likely fixes the recently-introduced heap corruption (sizeof BOOL != sizeof bool).

    Log Message:
    Remove another destroy infinite loop.

    This one appears to actively make itself worse every time through
    the loop. :(

    Log Message:
    Fix mail archive feature

    Broken in commit f820805f0 (fixing Coverity issue, sigh)

    Once the mail archive directory existed (once successfully created), the function would just fail.

    Log Message:
    Strip ctrl chars "B" mime-encoded words in incoming message header fields

    Per RFC2047: "Only printable and white space character data should be encoded using this scheme."

    Apparently TikTok doesn't follow that advice. Here's one example:

    68% #614159 (1741720) TikTok Header field contains control characters
    ...
    Subject 6C 69 76 6B 61 70 73 7A 6F 6F 20 70 6F 73 74 65 64 3A 20 4D 75 66 66 69 6E 20 73 61 69 64 20 0A 4E 6F 20 74 68 61 6E 6B 73 F0 9F AB A0

    Which expands to:

    "livkapszoo posted: Muffin said
    No thanks🫠"

    This could do weird things when the message is viewed (depending on the viewer) and triggers the chksmb error: Control Characters in Header Fields (!): 1
